Day 36 - July 15th

Travelled from Murdo, South Dakota to Albert Lea, Minnesota
Travelled approx 400 miles/644 KM today with very light traffic, sun shining and a glorious high of 31’C. Just can’t get better than this!! Interesting to see a Harley biker today wearing his leather jacket, zipped to the neck, however no helmet!! Just does not make sense does is? We stopped at the worlds only Corn Palace in Mitchell,SD, watched a short video on how this came about back in 1892, then walked around looking at murals and how they were created with corn, grasses and grains. Every year the theme on the front of the building is changed. It was a fun stop!In South Dakota and Minnesota there were miles and miles of corn fields.They have had a lot of rain and lots of water in some of the fields, quite similar to what we saw crossing the Prairies. We stopped at the Americ Inn for the night and to Applebee’s for supper. Will and Andrea left Calgary this morning which I’m sure was hard for them to leave everyone, esp. their grandson Jacob. As of today we have travelled over 15000KM !! Check out this video that I took of Al and Pat cruising behind us on I90 in Minnesota!!
